The children are what I like most about Head Start. To see their eyes light up and a smile on their faces when they arrive at school; and when you tell them you have been waiting for them to arrive. Or when they have accomplished a skill or a goal, whether it be working and finishing a puzzle or learning to write their name. It's very exciting to watch them learn and grow in so many ways.

The things that make me laugh the most are the little things children do and say; they say and do the funniest things.

My favorite book is the Bible, because it only has truth in it. It gives you guidance and hope.

My favorite childhood memory is when I got to go to the "Smokies" with my family. I got to see an Indian Reservation and see a black mama bear with her cubs.

My favorite subject in school was spelling. I also got to compete in the spelling bee and won first place.

I don't collect anything in particular, just a whole lot of everything.

10. What is your favorite song and why is it your favorite?

My favorite holiday would be Christmas, to celebrate Jesus' birthday and spending quality time with my family. That's something I cherish.
